David, This series contains a number of misc improvements and preparation patches for an upcoming series that adds support for the new PPv2.2 network controller to the mvpp2 driver.
Sorry for the long delay since v2, I was on vacation/conference/training in January, and therefore wasn't able to resend a new version earlier. Upcoming versions should arrive much faster, if there are further comments on this series. The most significant improvements are: - Switching to using build_skb(), which is necessary for the upcoming PPv2.2 support, but anyway a good improvement to the current mvpp2 driver (supporting PPv2.1). - Making the driver build on 64-bit platforms. Changes since v2: - Fix remaining 64-bit build warning, reported by David Miller. - Adjust how bit mask related definitions are done in "net: mvpp2: simplify MVPP2_PRS_RI_* definitions" according to Russell King suggestions. - Add a patch "net: mvpp2: remove useless arguments in mvpp2_rx_{pkts,time}_coal_set", suggested by Russell King. - Rework mvpp2_rx_time_coal_set() implementation to avoid overflows and rounding errors. I've used the implementation suggested by Russell King. Changes since v1: - This series is split as a separate series from the larger patch set adding support for PPv2.2 in the mvpp2 driver, as requested by David Miller. - Rebased on top of v4.10-rc1. Thanks!
